In 2013 and 2014, Georgia started\u0026nbsp;three immersion programs. North and South Carolina both have three programs. With the recent development of this pedagogical approach in the Southeast, this seminar will help understand the objectives and advantages of early language learning in an immersion context to prepare children for an increasingly globalized world. It will also present the conditions to successfully start an immersion program and give a panorama of the different offerings in the three States.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe sessions on October 29 will be reserved for\u0026nbsp;educators and will concentrate on the use of resources in French immersion programs at elementary levels.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhen:\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOctober 28: Presentations and Q\u0026amp;A, Open to the Public\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003EMorning Session:\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003E\u201cT\u003C\/em\u003E\u003Cem\u003Ehe Benefits of French-English Immersion Education \u0026amp; the Conditions to Start a Program\u201d\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EAfternoon Session:\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003E\u201cA Presentation of the French Dual-Immersion Programs in the Southeast\u201d\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOctober 29: Presentations and Workshops, For Educators Only\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003EMorning Session:\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003E\u201cResources and Methods for French Immersion Programs at Elementary Levels: Sensory and Interdisciplinary Approaches\u201d\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EAfternoon Session:\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003E\u201cResources and Methods for French Immersion Programs at Elementary Levels: Digital Resources\u201d\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor more information, visit the Global Atlanta\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.globalatlanta.com\/event\/5291\/france-atlanta-2014-seminar-on-french-english-immersion-education\/\u0022\u003E website\u003C\/a\u003E.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Open to the public, this seminar will explore the objectives and advantages of early language learning in an immersion context to prepare children for an increasingly globalized world."}],"uid":"28068","created_gmt":"2014-09-19 09:20:11","changed_gmt":"2017-04-13 21:21:39","author":"Andrea Harris","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2014-10-28T01:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2014-10-28T01:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2014-10-28T01:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2014-10-28 05:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2014-10-28 05:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2014-10-28 05:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1297","name":"Office of International Education"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"11307","name":"France-Atlanta"},{"id":"102311","name":"Global Atlanta"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1789","name":"Conference\/Symposium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"},{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
